Parameters specific to the Gateway In block are:
∙IOB Timing Constraint: input/output buffers (IOBs). IOBs. They are None, Data Attribute.
In hardware, a Gateway In is realized as a set of There are three ways to constrain the timing on Rate, and Data Rate, Set 'FAST'
If None is selected, no timing constraints for the IOBs are put in the user constraint file (.ucf) produced by System Generator. This means the paths from the IOBs to synchronous elements are not constrained.
If Data Rate is selected, the IOBs are constrained at the data rate at which the IOBs operate. The rate is determined by the System Clock Period provided on the System Generator block and the sample rate of the Gateway relative to the other sample periods in the design. For example, the following OFFSET = IN constraints are generated for a Gateway In named 'Din' that is running at the system period of 10 ns:
# Offset in constraints
NET "Din<0>" OFFSET = IN : 10.0 : BEFORE "clk";
NET "Din<1>" OFFSET = IN : 10.0 : BEFORE "clk";
NET "Din<2>" OFFSET = IN : 10.0 : BEFORE "clk";
NET "Din_valid" OFFSET = IN : 10.0 : BEFORE "clk";
